Résumé

When former Roman soldier Marcus Livius is arrested in Egypt, starving and half mad, he is swiftly accused of desertion and murder. He denies the charges and embarks on an incredible tale... His story begins with the discovery of a body surrounded by documents written in an unknown language, as well as spectacular jewels and other items all suggesting the existence of a rich and powerful civilization previously unknown to Rome. Under the orders of Centurion Caius Bracca, Marcus decides to desert, and along with nine other men begins a secret expedition to find this unknown land. What will they discover... and how many will survive?

  • Richard Marazano (auteur)

    As a teenager, Richard Marazano was fascinated by the arts, politics and the sciences. After much deliberation, Marazano decided to study physics and astrophysics in college, before finally starting out in the comic book world at the prestigious fine arts school in Angouleme. His first album, "Humain trop humain," illustrated by Éric Dérian, was released in 1995 (Le Cycliste). In 2003, with artist Michel Durand, he created the series "Cuervos" (Glénat), which met with great critical acclaim and picked up some prestigious prizes. Marazano also enjoyed great public success with his award-winning science-fiction series "Le complexe du chimpanzé" (Dargaud; "Chimpanzee Complex," Cinebook), illustrated by Jean-Michel Ponzio. Since then, Marazano has taken on more and more projects, with a variety of artistic collaborators. With Dargaud in particular Marazano has published a number of series over the last decade, including "Le rêve du papillon" (2010-2014), "S.A.M." (2011-2013; Cinebook in English), "Otaku Blue" (2012-2013), "Le Protocole Pélican" (2011-2013), and "Mémoires de la guerre civile" (2017-2018; "Memories from the Civil War," Europe Comics/Cinebook), in collaboration with his accomplice Jean-Michel Ponzio. Alongside artist Marcelo Frusin, he has also explored antiquity with the ongoing series "Expedition" (2012; Europe Comics 2018), and he has joined with Christophe Ferreira for two other adventure series, "Alcyon" (2014-2015, Europe Comics 2019) and "Le monde de Milo" (2013-2015, Lion Forge 2019, Milo's World). Richard Marazano loves travel tales, and is also interested in Inca, Aztec and Mayan cultures, a diversity of interests manifest in his most recent work, "Zarathustra" (Dargaud, Europe Comics 2019), an epic created alongside Mir.

    Marcelo Frusin was born on December 27th, 1967, in Rosario, Argentina. In 1993, upon earning his art degree, he began a professional career in comic books, beginning by collaborating with a number of local publishers. Between 1994 and 1997, he worked on a crime fiction series in post-communist Moscow, for Italian publisher Universo, before breaking into the American comics scene. He first worked for Marvel, illustrating "X-Men Unlimited," before collaborating on "Magnus Robot Fighter" with Acclaim Comics. He then switched over to DC Comics, where he would contribute to the Vertigo line for a number of years, working as illustrator and colorist for various series, such as "Flinch" and "Weird War tales."Later, Frusin became the official illustrator of the monthly series "Hellblazer," a title he held for five years.
